Plant Faire

Occasionally, they have plant sales. You can find flowering plants, herbs, native grasses, desert plants, small trees, orchids, and tons of other nice plants. Most are outdoor, but some do well indoors, too. The people who run the nursery sales will gladly give you advice if you ask for it. Botany club members also help set up the event. The prices are reasonable, members of the Friends of the UC Davis Arboretum receive a 10% discount on plants, at these events the cost of membership is reduced by five dollars and they have a buy one get one free deal. Some local businesses give discounts to card-carrying Arboretum members.

Public sales are held regularly in the spring and fall. There are "members-only" sales before the public sales, but you can join at the door.
